   no and no, gear knob need a bit of a pull and eventually comes off, i was lucky didn't need alot of weely. handbrake tho will need to cut off the plastic so will need replacing with after market cover and gaiter

   well u can use a stanley blade, but i wouldn;t have thought a new one will go over it so easy, its why a handbrake lever and gaiter is needed
